Lupe Fiascos New Post Punk/Alternative/Indie Band Japanese Cartoon stream music mp3

We always knew that Lupe Fiasco was mad crazy, but we just didn’t know how crazy he was, until now. Japanese Cartoon is Lupe Fiasco’s ridiculously cool side project (I’m not a fan of those, but for Lupe, I’ll make an exception). Should I say second side project? Does anyone know what happened to CRS?

The self-described Post Punk/Alternative/Indie Japanese Cartoon features a Lupe Fiasco putting on a freaky faux-British accent. This is a fun listen before we get to listen to LupEND. Holler back.

Catch two Japanese Cartoon tracks below:

Japanese Cartoon – ARMY
Japanese Cartoon – Heirplanes

UPDATE: Or what?

Japanese Cartoon’s myspace page has been hacked.

Percival Fats (Born Percival Hindenburg-Fats) Is NOT Lupe Fiasco (Born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco). Although he is a dear friend.

Japanese Cartoon will reload songs onto the player as soon as we figure out how via the technical support fellows at Myspace.

Please DO NOT disseminate their music ILLEGALLY.

These guys have worked very hard and placed a large amount of energy and financial dedication into this project.

Lupe does finance the band but is NOT I REPEAT NOT THE SINGER IN JAPANESE CARTOON. He is however the producer and we value his participation very much.

We will not be taking any friend requests until this security matter is cleared up as we might not be able to keep this page.

-Percival Fats. Friend Of Millions, Foe Of Hacker Punks.

Is it really him? This sounds like right kind of hype Lupe would WANT you to believe… haha.

Would anybody care about this new “indie band” if it weren’t for Lupe’s possible link to it?

Lupe Fiasco Or Percival Fats Its Good I Like Heirplanes Alot. I Pray That LupEND Will Drop By December As Promised And Hopefully [Child Rebel Soldier] Will Drop Soon In The Meantime I Will Continue To Rotate The Cool

Heirplanes reminds me of something from an old skateboarding video – makes me wanna rock my Vision Streetwear. Loving this song!
